xpraider provides xp icons but no xp theme or sounds
best combo is xp icons+2000 color scheme but i'll try it under 9x

Geocities URL doesn't work.
I got reports from users that Geocities don't allow file d/l off their servers.
If it's not too large in size, please send it to me [click on the E-mail link]:
http://www.mdgx.com/form.htm
This way I'll post your theme at my site [www.mdgx.com], so everybody can d/l it, and u can post the link anywhere u like.

Desktop Architect v2.11
(don't let it run at startup, and remove the non-working Display Properties extension dadesk.dll)
there are others but this oldie is a goodie.

i particularly like the startup/wait/shutdown logos used in this theme welcome.gif newwink.gif
a readme.txt might be an idea.

also it's missing the .avi for the screensaver (Bliss.avi 1.4 MB)

UPDATED Ultimate XP Theme [3 MB]:
http://www.mdgx.com/toy.htm#UXP

Updates:
* Replaced old XP saver [bliss.scr was not working anyway because needs missing bliss.avi file] with newer Xpize saver [xpixe.scr].
If u use XP/2003/Longhorn u can install Xpize [actually ver updated to 3.2]:
http://www.msfn.org/board/?showtopic=44022
D/l current ver 3.2 here:
http://www.xpize.com/XPize_v3.2.exe
* Replaced old XP wallpaper [bliss.bmp 800x600 from original WinXP setup CD] with newer Longhorn Aero wallpaper [xpaero.bmp 1024x768], also part of Xpize pack.
Because newer files above are larger, file size increased to 3 MB [zipped using 7-zip for smallest file size in ZIP format].

To install the theme:
1. UnZIP using any archiving tool:
http://www.mdgx.com/toy.htm#ZIP
2. (Double)-click on ULTIMXP.THEME inside theme folder [all files from ZIP must exist there] using Windows Explorer [or similar replacement] or File Manager [%windir%\WINFILE.EXE].
Will open in Desktop Themes tool [THEMES.EXE] which should be present in "C:\Program Files\Plus!" folder. Actually the Control Panel "stub" [%windir%\SYSTEM\THEMES.CPL] opens THEMES.EXE and displays/manages desktop themes.
3. Then click OK to use it.
Default theme folder should be "C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes\ULTIMXP", but not necessary. Files can reside anywhere, but must be all together in same folder.
The 3 boot logos work only if copied manually to:
- LOGO.SYS = C:\ root.
- LOGOW.SYS + LOGOS.SYS = %windir% [usually C:\WINDOWS].
This *.THEME file is 100% compatible with Win98/98SE/ME.

Do NOT try to install by running ultimxp.theme on 2000, XP, 2003 or Longhorn!
Some Win98/ME theme components are NOT compatible with these OSes.
If u use 2000/XP/2003/LH u can manually copy XPAERO.BMP + XPIZE.SCR to %windir% [usually C:\WINDOWS] and all *.WAV files to %windir%\MEDIA .
Then u can copy XPICONS.DLL anywhere u want, as long as u remember the drive letter + folder name. newwink.gif
Then to change a program's icon manually in 2000/XP/2003/LH:
right-click on program's shortcut [*.LNK file] -> select Properties -> click Change Icon -> browse to the folder where xpicons.dll resides -> select the icon u like by double-clicking on it -> click OK/Apply twice.

Enjoy.
